The Thrica Network joins the Illuminati

thrica — Sat, 08 May 2010 19:36:42 +0000

The Illuminati has been making overtures to me of late. Never one to pass up an opportunity to lord secret power over unsuspecting masses, I quickly accepted. But it seems they’ve been planning to induct me for a while. An observant reader has recently brought to my attention a startling fact which it may behoove you to know. I will let you draw your own conclusions. Behold, the evidence:

I would pretend to be secretly in control of our monetary system, but then I would have a lot to answer for, wouldn’t I?

An Update on AguaT

Hello all,

It’s been a while since I’ve updated AguaT. Usually that’s because I simply don’t have the time to do so with all the other things I do; it’s rather low on my priorities. However, since upgrading to Snow Leopard, time is no longer my limiting factor. It seems ThemePark, the tool I use to edit iTunes.rsrc, is not compatible with Snow Leopard: I’ll get no more than one resource copied before it crashes.

Even more unfortunately, the more recent ThemePark 4.1 doesn’t edit .rsrc files – only the system theme files. The website says that version 4 will eventually be updated to include .rsrc editing, but I’m not holding my breath.

So, thanks for the interest and for asking about it, and if I never got back to you, I sincerely apologize. Alas, until I can find a comparably convenient resource editor, iTunes will have to stay metal.

Though, the icons and kind-string edits still work without the .rsrc. I’ve uploaded them here for those who would still like them.

A Manifesto on the Abolition of Copyright Protections

I am pleased to announce the completion and immediate availability of a manifesto for the copyright abolitionist, as well as a more academic companion paper going into detail on some of the claims made in the manifesto, A Social Utility Model of Intellectual Property Enforcement. These may both be found on the new Writings page, which will hopefully grow as more thoughts from the blog coalesce into broader, more rigorous, and more polished form. These may be regarded as finished products, where the blog is for working out nascent thoughts.

Let me know if you find typos, factual errors, logical errata, or just things to improve upon. These will then be incorporated into future editions.

The new Writings section has also bumped ResEdit Pro off the downloads page. Classic was already long in the tooth when I abandoned it in 2006, and 4 years later, there was no reason to keep it except for historical interest. If you’re still dying to have it for whatever reason, let me know and I can send it.

Wordle

This is the Wordle of the blog so far. I would have expected to see more economics relative to theology, but maybe economics just has a more varigated vocabulary. Or maybe I write about God a lot more than I realize.

Ambassador-Camp.org

The new Ambassador Camp website has just gone live. From the Portfolio page:

Ambassador Camp is an Christ-centered summer camp in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina. This site was taken on after the old domain was lost to a hosting company that went under, and moves them from a very basic Frontpage website to something both more visually appealing, informative to the visitor, and powerful for the administrators. The content box, extending into the header, is the actual sign outside the camp’s campus, lending itself visually to associations with the camp’s physical location.

I’ve been close to the camp for a while now, so I was keen on the opportunity to do their website as it moved to its new domain. The old site was more or less a separate and unconnected entity from the camp itself, so the new site pulls a lot of resources previously only in print (the brochure, registration form, contact, etc. – hopefully the camp history and the video in the near future as well) and moves them online, and makes for a much more flexible method of publishing news and updates as they should come along.
